Tragic trophallaxis

V5.5

[Instrumental intro] [eerie slow atmospheric doom riff like early Autopsy Severed Survival + Grave Into the Grave, distant pheromone whispers and mandibles clicking, faint wind through tunnels, building tension over 40 seconds into first blast] [atmospheric slow doom/death intro, early Autopsy Mental Funeral + Grave Into the Grave style, buzzing detuned guitars, distant ant colony sounds and pheromone echoes, faint human finger-like thuds from above, building to fast blast entry, 45-70 seconds] [Verse 1 – fast blasting rage] Beneath the soil, our empire breathes as one Trophallaxis binds us, the sacred sharing tongue I crawled above, I saw the Finger Gods descend Their colossal shadows, their poison from the end [Crushing mid-tempo chorus – heavy Grave-style doom groove, repetitive and suffocating] Tragic trophallaxis… the gift that kills the hive One drop of venom, passed from mouth to mouth alive Sisters drink the death I carry in my gut The colony collapses, our unity our cut [Death metal Guitar Solo] [early 90s OSDM chaotic dissonant solo, short atonal shred like Deicide Legion or Entombed Left Hand Path, fast tremolo picking with whammy abuse and feedback, over groovy mid-tempo Grave riff turning into slow crushing doom, sense of colony-wide panic and collapse, 25-45 seconds] [Fast blast section – pure frantic insect panic] I tasted something wrong, a droplet from their world Now my crop is burning, my antennae curled I offered the exchange, the ritual of the nest Now every sister convulses, the queen will never rest [Doom/Death break – ultra-slow crushing like early Grave + Asphyx, spoken-growled, massive low-end] …Why… did the gods… poison the kiss… Trophallaxis spreads… the end… like this… Lower… deeper… the hive drowns in my sin… [Verse 2 – faster again, building desperation] The tunnels fill with twitching, the larvae start to rot Pheromones of terror in every drop I brought We were perfect order, the social flawless chain Now one mistake in sharing brings eternal pain [Chaotic guitar solo] [25-40 seconds, dissonant atonal shred like early Deicide/Entombed over mid-tempo Grave groove turning doomy, whammy dives, feedback like dying antennae] [Bridge/Heavy Doom-Death breakdown] [very slow palm-muted chugs, alternate crushing doom with sudden blast bursts, layered growls] [slow crushing doom/death breakdown like early Grave You'll Never See... + Asphyx The Rack, ultra-heavy palm-muted chugs, massive low-end drop, crawling double-bass, tortured growls alternating with sudden blast bursts, psychological suffocation of the hive, 50-80 seconds] They watch from above… the Finger Gods laugh… Our sacred bond becomes the final wrath… One poisoned kiss… the anthill falls apart… Tragic trophallaxis… death through every heart… [Final explosive blast + crushing repeat] Tragic trophallaxis… the gift that kills the hive One drop of venom, passed from mouth to mouth alive The colony is silent, the tunnels choked with dead Unity betrayed us… the Finger Gods are fed [Instrumental Outro] [repeat the main crushing riff slower and slower like a dying colony, distant mandibles clicking fade, guitars detune into abyssal reverb, cold silence or long decaying feedback] [fading repetitive main riff outro, slowing like a poisoned colony dying, Grave-style detuned crushing guitars with huge reverb, ghostly mandible clicks and fading pheromone whispers “trophallaxis… trophallaxis…”, long decaying feedback into silence, 35-55 seconds]
